balance among different fractions of a carbon sources is of paramount importance in maintenance of very important in soil quality and environmental health. on the other hand, rapid growth of world population, degradation of agricultural soils, along with release of greenhouse gasses are some of the main challenges of the 21st century. the aim of this study was to investigate the extent of chang...

this paper deals with the suitability of agricultural and municipal organic wastes as growing media components for ornamental plants. nine growing media prepared by mixing the main components of peat (p), hazelnut husk (h) and maize straw (m) with the fertilizer sources of municipal solid waste compost (c), bio-solid (b) and poultry manure (pm) were compared against soil-based (c1) and peat-bas...

Soil depth is an important input parameter in hydrological and ecological modeling. Presently, the soil depth data available in national soil databases (STATSGO, SSURGO) is provided as averages within generalized land units. Spatial uncertainty within these units limits their applicability for spatially distributed modeling. This work reports a statistical model for prediction of soil depth in ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Very low grid power penetration in some urban areas has led to telecoms companies investing massively in the deployment of diesel generators (DGs). These deployments have led to diesel and waste oil spill at base transceiver station (BTS) sites during maintenance cycles, impacting the environment and human activities. The objective of this study is to...

Soil (0 to 15 cm and 30 depth), leaf fruit samples were collected from seventeen orchards of lemon (Citrus limon L.) different locations Habiganj district evaluate the physicochemical properties, nutrient status soil, concentrations in leaves fruits. The soil was found vary pH extreme medium acidic (3.9 6.0), organic matter content 0.63 1.71% at 0 0.16 1.42% depth. Electrical Conductivity non-s...

in order to study the effects of sugar cane harvest machinery traffic on bulk density and cone index variation, a survey was conducted in 10 farms of deabel khozaiee sugarcane agro-industrial company, ahvaz, in 2006. in this experiment, two types of harvesters including wheel half track and tire wheels with 14 tons of weight, versus two types of tractor and basket transporters, with 10 and 18 t...

This research was objectively conducted to assess physico-chemical properties of soil among aspects. Total 64 samples were collected from 0 10 and 10-20 cm depths North East, South West The physical chemical analyzed in the lab. Average moisture content found highest at East aspect (39.46±1.11%) 0-10 depth 37.52±0.96 % cm. Nitrogen 0.378±0.03% 0.362±0.04 aspect. amount Potassium forest with mea...

The IRS-1D LISS III false colour composite (FCC) decoded imagery belonging to Kosi river watershed of Almora district of Uttaranchal under warm humid Lesser Himalayan agro-ecological region was interpreted and surveyed for soil resource mapping. On the basis of image interpretation and ground truth study ten physiographic units were identified. Soil physiography relationship was established on ...
